Wow!
Russian made horns are quite hard to find, especially of this vintage. These were the kinds of horns that premiered Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Stravinsky, and more.
Overall this horn is in amazing condition. The corpus is in amazing shape except it’s missing a rotor screw and has a few easily reachable dents in the tail. The original F crook has a few leaks which would need to be patched/fixed to seal the issues. The horn could also use a cleaning and alignment.
We have 2 other crook options for this horn. An antique Vienna horn crook (unknown maker) or a new Petersik Vienna horn crook. Both are excellent options for this horn. Please contact us for pricing if you would like an additional crook.
Another option for this horn is that it can play in various keys with different crooks and valve slide lengths. With a full crook set this antique valve horn could play from Bb alto down to Bb basso (or lower). Makers such as Richard Seraphinoff could make these extra parts.
This horn was owned by Robert Sheldon, professional horn player and Curator of The Musical Instruments Collections for the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian.
